Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

Okay I just got my SAT scores back...
540 math
450 reading
380 writing
It was my first time taking it and i was kind of caught off guard... so i just decided to answer EVERYTHING... even the grid in questions in the math (as in just pick a random number) because i COMPLETELY forgot that wrong answers are minus points... so i didnt leave ANYTHING blank...
I also have almost straight A's in all my classes... just one B usually and rest A's... and i take all the honors and AP classes i can...
So with that will I be accepted to USF??? I know no one really knwos but What's the SAT score that USF is looking for??? (University of South Florida)
And what are the other school's like? usually...
also does anyone knwo about standard SAT score for University of Florida??? (everyone was surprised when my friend with 970 SAT score got accepted)
I would have to assume that their 970 was from the old SAT, not the new one.
For you, on the old SAT, you would have only gotten a 990. USF's average is 1050-1200 (writing section NOT included). You are roughly 100 points shy of the low average (once again, do NOT include the WRITING SECTION).
Oh, and the grid-math questions, they don't count off points if you get those incorrect because they're not multiple choice.
My suggestion to you, take the SAT again. At least until you get into the 1000s without the writing section. Make sure that when you answer questions to skip those you are 100% clueless of.
Most schools who use the new SAT standards will want around a 1500ish or so.
All you have to do is google the schools that you're interested in, and check out their "profiles' for students.
Here is USF's profile.
